6 cups of boiling water (use boiling water to speed up pressure building time)

Directions

Combine pork paste, chopped Woodear mushrooms and black ground pepper. Mix well and stuff them into the bitter melon. Extra paste can be formed into multiple little balls. Set aside.

Set Saute mode, heat to normal and add 6 cups of hot/boiling water. Season with 1.5 tbsp of Quoc Viet pork Soup base and rock sugar. Once the broth comes to a boil, gently drop the pork paste balls and stuffed bitter melon pieces. OPTIONAL – Add 1-2 fresh Thai chili pepper to make the broth spicy. Close lid, be sure knob is on Sealing. Select: Pressure Cook/Manual, 7 minutes, High Pressure, QR.

Once the cook time is up, gently move knob from Sealing to Venting to manually release all pressure inside the pot. One safety pin drops, open lid and give a quick stir. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed, can add mushroom seasoning if it’s bland. To serve, pour out to a large bowl and add chopped onion and extra black pepper if needed. Serve with rice!
